This may sound pretty easy, but the question was posed to 24 six-year olds who have only been together for a short time! They were given the number cards 1-24 randomly. We stepped back and watched them figure out how to work together in kind ways to get this job done.
They really did a great job! We talked about what worked and what didn't work. How leaders can be helpful without being bossy.
There was no pushing, shoving or unkind words. Truly lovely for the start of the year. Next we will try getting in order by 5's and 2's.
This was not just a math lesson or a problem solving lesson...this is one of many life lessons that I'll offer to my crew this year.
